Refreshing, chewy, and bursting with citrusy goodness! These no-bake cookies are perfect for a quick sweet treat without heating up your oven.
Ingredients:
(Makes about 24 cookies)
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar 
¼ cup (60ml) milk (any type) 
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract 
2 cups (200g) quick oats 
½ cup (40g) shredded coconut (optional, for extra texture) 
Pinch of salt 
Instructions:
Prepare Your Workspace:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper for easy cleanup.
Cook the Lemon Mixture:
In a medium saucepan, combine butter, sugar, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter melts and the mixture reaches a boil.
Allow it to boil for 1 minute, stirring continuously to avoid burning.
Add the Dry Ingredients:
Remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract, oats, shredded coconut (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Shape the Cookies:
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Shape them slightly if needed for a uniform look.
Cool and Set:
Let the cookies cool at room temperature for 30 minutes or until firm.
For faster setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator.
Serve and Store:
Enjoy these cookies right away or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Pro Tips:
Boost the Lemon Flavor: Add a drop of lemon extract or extra lemon zest for a stronger citrus punch. 
Texture Variations: Use old-fashioned oats for a chewier bite or add chopped nuts for extra crunch. 
Decorate: Drizzle with melted white chocolate for a fancy finish.
